Numerical prediction of statistical masonry wall fragment distribution induced by blast loading

The hazard caused by the fragments of damaged structures is usually significant in accidental explosions or hostile blast events. A reliable and efficient method to estimate probable fragment size, velocity and launch distance will be useful to assess and design countermeasures to mitigate the possi...
